Hippity Hop Hop

Here are the pictures that I promised of the Jacob kids and cousins in the bunny ears.  Lorelai showed hers off in an earlier post, as she couldn't wait to put them on when she got them, and eventually everyone else wanted to join in the furry fashion show.

Chocolate...Mmm!

One of the biggest hits at the Easter celebration was the chocolate fondue fountain.  I think it was Sierra's favorite part of the day.   

Once Lorelai figured out where Sierra kept disappearing to it was hard for her to drag herself away from it.

Sierra and her delicious chocolate strawberry - and the chocolate mustache to go with it.

The precious pair enjoying chocolate sticks - by then they quit worrying about having fruit involved.  I kept trying to get a cute picture of the two of them, but Lorelai was way more interested in eating than smiling. 

So Many Smiling Faces

During our Easter festivities everyone was very gracious while I took TONS of pictures.  Here are some of the smiles that I captured.

Sierra was all smiles after getting lots of eggs during the Easter egg hunt.

Sweet Sierra and Pap.

The Jacob Brothers...or is it the Blues Brothers???

Nope, I was right the first time.

 Even KC was kind enough to give me a grin.

A good picture of my dapper husband and "The Girl Who Shall Not Be Photographed." (That's a fun Harry Potter-ish quote for all you fans out there.) What a miracle!!

These girls certainly love to play dress-up.

 What handsome future basketball starts!

I've Been Dying To Try This

The last time Picasa updated it gave me lots of additonal options for photo editing.  I thought several of them were pretty cool and wanted to give them a try.

Here's the original picture.

1960s ~ It gives it that really cool retro feel.

Pencil Sketch ~ My favorite!

The Hunt Is On

Next, it was time for the annual Easter egg hunt.  Everybody grabbed their baskets, lined up, and proceeded to the yard to search for the candy-filled eggs.

Lorelai's dress just happened to match her basket perfectly.  We had another dress picked out but I realized as she was getting dressed that it needed to be washed.  The back-up option turned out even better than planned.   

 Finders keepers!

Easter Gifts

While at our Easter celebration the kids opened their presents from Ma and Pap.  Pap gave the girls bracelets, but I didn't get any pictures of them opening those.

The girls got Princess underwear, socks, and bunny ears.

I couldn't get Sierra to pose for me at the time, but eventually she did show off her bunny ears (see upcoming post).

 The boys got Cars underwear, socks, and sunglasses.

 Ma really enjoyed watching them open their gifts. 

The Easter Bunny Was Here

Once the baskets were made it was time for the Easter Bunny to come and bring the goodies.  

Showing off their loot.  By the time the camera got focused Miller was usually looking away.

Lorelai, the seasoned professional, held her poses as long as needed.

Before headng to Uncle Rob's and Aunt Lisa's for our annual lunch/Easter egg hunt, they kids decided to have an outdoor picnic complete with bunny-shaped marshmallows.
